Celebrate the Mars rover record with a golden, crispy rover silhouette on your plate.
Golden-brown potato rösti form the body of the Mars rover, with six crispy mini-sausages as wheels. The arrangement on the plate mimics the iconic rover silhouette. Celebrate the distance record with a side dish that literally wins.
Ingredients
- 600 g waxy potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp flour
- 6 mini beef sausages (or vegetarian)
- sunflower oil for frying
- salt and pepper
- fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Method
- Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes. Squeeze out excess moisture.
- Finely chop the onion. Mix potato, onion, egg, flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Heat a layer of oil in a frying pan. Shape four oval rösti (about 8 cm long), fry until golden and cooked through on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
- Fry the mini sausages in another pan until browned and cooked through.
- On each plate, place one rösti as the 'body'. Arrange three sausages on each side as 'wheels', partially under the rösti. Optionally add chives as antennas.
- Serve immediately so everything stays crispy.
Serving notes
- Garnish with a few chive sprigs as rover antennas.
- Serve on a black plate for extra 'space' effect.
